earthen_hopeShe could hear clanking, rattling--a few colorful expressions--shouts of triumph followed by more bangs and minor crashes. But the noise quieted down some, and she heard feet rushing up wooden steps. Possibly two at a time, though they slowed as whoever it was walked towards her and finally stopped next to her. "Shouldn't take too much longer." A boy, about her own age.
"Wow, you two really work hard," said Krile, impressed.
But there was a pause. Clothing rustled as one or both of them shifted awkwardly. "...Grandpa blames himself for the world having ended up like this..." the boy said.
"But..." she said, "I mean, it's not like there's anything he could've done..."
"I know that... I think deep down, he knows it too. But that's why this time, he's so driven to see his machines used for peace." His voice gained more determination there.
They were interrupted by the sound of more footsteps up the stairs, belonging to someone larger by the sound, though if he was older it wasn't apparent from the speed. "And that should do it!" he proclaimed.
Three more pairs of feet coming across a wooden surface from a different direction. The older man addressed them. "Once you're in the water, *********, and the undersea world is yours!"
"Thanks for everything, guys." That was Lix's voice.
Footsteps again--someone moving off, then coming back. "*****..." said the older man. "I can't fight for beans. In fact, about all I'm good at is modifying machinery. Even so, I've tried to do everything I can to help you out. The rest is in your hands..."
Several determined footsteps. "Come on, guys!" Lix declared.
"We can travel underwater now, right?" said a woman's voice.
"Aye," said a rougher voice that was nevertheless similar in pitch to the other. "Now we can search for the tablet underneath the waves..."
Footsteps rushed across the deck of the ship as everyone moved at once. Krile's own footsteps followed the boy's as he headed off, and he stopped. "Mid... Take good care of your grandpa."
He took one step. "You guys take care too!" Then he ran off.
"No point in dawdling!" said Lix from somewhere astern. There was a rumbling noise of engine, a massive whirring of propellers overhead, the groaning of metal separating above as if some huge bay doors were opening and the rush of wind... then the sound dissolved into static.
[ooc: Static is over Cid's instructions, which involve pressing buttons on a GBA, and Lix's real name.
Video reference is here, from 1:38 to 3:30.]

Date: 2011-01-26 02:28 pm (UTC)I think I should take that as a compliment.

Date: 2011-01-26 02:54 pm (UTC)Huh, I never would have guessed you had something like a submarine at your disposal, from the way you've talked about home. That's pretty advanced.

Date: 2011-01-26 03:05 pm (UTC)[strangely, this is like the one piece of tech in FFV that isn't a case of fixing something "the Ancients" built.]

Date: 2011-01-26 03:33 pm (UTC)[Note to self: refrigerators are too advanced, but submarines are just a fact of life, which means he's mentally putting her world's tech... about early 20th century. How accurate this is, who knows.]

...huh.

Date: 2011-01-26 05:25 pm (UTC)[Nooot very, sorry Lyle. But her world doesn't even have lunar-based tides, so it's a little hard to categorize anyway.]

Which guy--the boy, or his grandfather? Or um... the one with purple hair?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-26 05:43 pm (UTC)[...so someone might have the tiniest crush on what he remembers of Lenna.]
The one with the purple hair. I never heard the other two before. Well no, clearly I did because I was there and- this is all confusing, you know what I mean. I just don't remember it.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-26 05:51 pm (UTC)I'll keep that in mind~ and I'm... pretty sure the one with purple hair is a woman. I don't know their names, though.
It is confusing--this is the first time I heard of us having a submarine. But I think I do remember the tablet that we were talking about.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-26 05:54 pm (UTC)So what's the tablet? Like...the kind they give you if you're feeling sick?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-26 07:32 pm (UTC)No, it was a big stone tablet. I couldn't understand what was written on it, but it was in this big, watery cave. So maybe that was where we had to get to in the submarine.
